Picked up a very abused K98k at a show a couple weeks ago. Just getting around to tearing it down. The bolt although matching to itself, I think was made up from parts of various eras.
The underside of the bolt body has E/6, Wiermar eagle, E/6. The firing pin has had one numbered X'd out and then numbered to bolt, on the other side it has a "S28" is that a Simson mark? The bolt shroud, safety and cocking piece appear to be nazi era. The safety is marked E/623. All the parts have been numbered to match and appear to be arsenal done.
I was wondering if the bolt body and firing pin were originally intended for a 98b?
All comments appreciated.
